POVLSONS PECULIARITIES Further Developments in the Sensation that Has Paralyzed Oakland, WEIRD WRITINGS OF THE OLD DOCTOR Blde Lights on a Life of Mystery—History that Reads Like a Romance—Mor mon and Spiritunlist—Poses #s n Cardinal, The mystery of the little zinc box which has thrown such a dark shadow over the life of Dr. P. W. Poulson of Fruitvale, Cal., late of Council Bluffs and now of No Where, is tar from being solved, as telegrams from Cal- fornia indicate that strange features are being added to the singular case every day. Dr. Poulson, who is a writer, is known Dr. P. W. P. Fagerstjerna, is not hastening his return, so far as anybody can find out. While his attorneys in Fruitvale claim that he will easily clear up the mystery the state 1s getting ready to open the little zinc box to ascertain what is inside. It is said that he is now in Chicago. The doctor'sstroubles commenced to date from the time he becamo a spiritualist, hav- ing turnea his back on Mormonism. He came to the coast and made the acquaintance of Miss Edna Snell, a_handsome young woman, and sister of R. B. Snell, a member of the Oakland ecity council. Tt is alleged that their married life was an unhappy one and the wife obtained a_di- vorce, retaining the name of kdna Snell Poulson. Just abous this time the “‘woman in black” made her appearance in_tho path of Poulson’s life. Her name was Miss Lizzie Carter, and she gave her occupation as that of o journalist. Her views on _spirit- ualism seemed to coincide with the doctor’s, and they had many a talk on the subject. with the doctor, and She fell madly in love would have accepted him at any moment. But the doctor did not like her looks, and through the aid of the spirits he selccted the woman who is now his wife. Then came the curse of Lizzie Carter. She wrote it on paper and she preached it from the strects. Her one de- sire and aim in life was to win back Dr. Poulson. It came to pass that through her powers s a medium she had learned that the day was not far distant when Dr. Poul- son’s home would be wrecked and his hap- viness blasted. Her Prophecy Fullilled. strango woman thereupon the predicticn of what was to come fn the future, and sure enough it turned out just as she had predicted, even almost to the duy. But Lizzie Carter had brought some material power to play in order to compass the ruin of the doctor. She was a strong letter writer, and spent most of her vime in sending epistles to Dr. Poul- son and his wife. The latter received scores of the most scandalous letters, wherein were contained charges almost beyond conception, As for the doctor it kept him busy opening his mail and reading portions of the history of his lifo wherein he was told of secrets which he considered quite sucred. Later Miss Carter succeeded in involving several other women in the case until now iv would seem as if a whole colony of women ‘were on the doctor's trail. F'rom his earliest This made cars the doctor was a mystery to his frionds. It is said that his parents even did not understand him. He was disposed to be reticent and secretive. Novertheless ho at times displayed flashes of brilliancy which commended him to people who afterward acted as his friends. As he grew iuto manhood he morose, and at times melancholy, devoting a &reat deal of time to the consideration of ubjects of a supcrnatural _character. When he attained his majority Mormouism wis making rapid strides in_Stockholm, where he had been educated and_where hé had also graduated from the military acad- emy. Messages From the Messlah. The young man lost little time in embrac- ing Lhe tonets of Joseph Smith, and thence- forth was considered as among the most ardent believers in those erratic doctrines, Coming to this country a married man, he was not able to shake off the melancholy which periodically took possession of him, and ou such occasions he would wander far from home and establish communal relations and connections with the supernatural be. ings with whom he peopled the heavens, Iiven as Joseph Swmith bad been commis- sioned from on high, s0 would be undertake to lead the people back to the Messiah. In furtherance of this desire he has left on record innumerable messages which came to him as the messages of the Messiah, These messages have been printed by him under the assumed name of . W. P, Fagerstjerna in o work styled “The Light of Messiah on the Gospel of Freedom and the Order of Messiuh.” This work contains 330 pages of closely printed matter aud is only the first of seven volumes which the **Messenger,” as he styles himself, has dofined as his life work, and ho Proposes to publish as soon as divorce cases and other mundane matters afford him the necessary leisure, The Order of the Messiah, which the doctor was iustrumental in creating, held its first meoting August 20, 1857, on Sian Eran- cisco bay. The rules for its 'government are multitudinous ané about as elaborate as those governing the srmy of the United States, Order of the Black Cross. The order is based,” he says, ‘upon a military discipline belonging to tho nosts of heaven.” It hias presidents, generals, vicars counselors, thira generals, licutcnan knights, rogiments of provision, Rosicrus. claus and White Cross Knights, who ave the most numerous und the bulk of the army and count the privates and the subaltern officers from their midst, This order, however, is ouly a stepping stone to the Order of the Black Cross, for which the doctor has printed & most elaborate ritual., he applicant for admission is requived to uy some attention to cleanliness, and this s tho manner in which the cardinal oficers BuEgest it: Cardinal-—1 suppose ho has obeyed the ordi- nance of the spouge baths, because to be #int is 1o bo ralsed to God in the freedom of His Spir 0 that before his ontering here he uld huve cleansed his body from the ini- rition and dust of the world, Second Mossenger—1le bas done so.

Snow Discouraged the Prospectors, As the cardinal of this order, as the mes- senger also of the Messiah, some time ago Poulson told some of his followers that he had been told by the angels thatin the mountains near Pasadena there wasa pile of gold which he could get by climbing up to it, and that with it he was 1o build & grand temple at Independence, Mo, Poulsou set a time for getting the gold, but failed to go. Some of his friends became skeptical, and desired to go with him. They wanted a little of the gold, perbaps for priv- ate use. Pouison wok one of them, & wan of this city, to the base of the mountain, and, lo nd behold, the summit, where lay the gold, was covered with suow ! It is said that “*Cardinal” Poulson actually organized “The Crder of the Messiah” and had a number of followers.

He was held to the United States district court on tho charge of murder. He was brought heve by United States District Attorney Baker and Depuzy United States Marshal Boehme, and is now confined in the county juil, The accused wman's superiors and every one acquainted with him give him the best kind of a reputation, and state that he has never before been in any trouble. He was once a corporal in his company, but had to be reduced on account of the fuct that he did not have a sufficient knowledge of English, Neith Mr. Baker nor Mr. Boohme believe that the man will be con- vieted, as the ouly evidence against him is the fact that he was the last person seen in the company of the murdered scout, and as there is nothing to show that Frosted Bear and Litle Stallion had ever had any trouble between them, the chances are in favor of the acquittal of the accused Indian, ———— Taking Up Mall Car Admits.

THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES, Some Rallroad Men Say Business is Better, Others Deny It Of four men holding responsible positions in the Union Pacific two were emphatic in their statements that there was an increased movement in freight, while the other two, more prominent in positions, were just as emphatic that the situation was unchanged. Lhe former two saw every waybill on the system, supposedly knew the number of every car and l'unhly tell exactly the number of cars loaded between Omaha and Ogden. But the latter two, both heads of depart- ments, saw little change in the situation. Whether this is signiticant remains to be seen. Certain it is, however, that the rep- resentative heads have commenced to speak more despondingly of the situation, while the actual receipts are greater than atany time in the past moath. Reference to the daily car reports will show this, yet the officials have suddenly begun a season of reticence. “There is a considerable movement in fruit from California,” suid a gentleman in the freight department, “and an all around movement commerce which gives us hope that the worst is over, From this on business will undoubtedly pick up, congress or no con- gress. All'we need is money to move the crops, and that wili be forthcoming, so that the condition of affairs is by no means as strained as a month ago.” in ilght Flash Buchanan of the TR Fremont. J.0.

The Board of Health held a short meeting yesteraay afternoon. Dr. Somers brought up the question of funds for the remainder of the fiscal year. He said that the amount in the fund would carry the board until the middle of next month, and that between £3,500 and 4,000 would bo required to teet the expenses for the remainder of tho year. When the annual appropriation was made $10,000 was placed in the health fund Mr. McLearie moved that the council be requested to transfer from the geueral to the health fund the sum of #3,500 for the use of the board. 'The motion was adopted. Mr. Howell brought up the question of the dry closets in the public schools. He said that President Powell of the Board of Edu- cation had stated that he desived a test be made as soon as possible as to whether the systems are nuisances or not. This caused Dr. Somers to bring forth a pile of letters from the health officials of different cities. He read those from Chi- cago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis, and each gave the dry closct systems a decidedly black eye. Beyond the reading of the let- ters nothing was dque, and in the midst of the talk Chief Seavey slipped in a motion to adjourn, which was adopted. —_— Bullding Pecmits, Building permits to the amount of £2,075 were issued yesterday by the iuspector of buildings.
